No, seriously. I can't understand what a tough decision this must be for you because I've never had that radical of a shift in my lifetime, at least not one that would potentially alienate friends and family. So, I'm not really in a position to provide advice, except to say that this topic is obviously on your mind at, at some point, is going to need some kind of resolution. As our friend, e, would say, you're out of alignment.

And, although it won't make it any easier if/when people criticize your stance initially, you are very right in saying that those who matter won't mind and those who mind don't matter. It may take some time to sort through it all, though, so I get the hesitation.

BTW, I LOVE "Humanism". You're right, Atheism has this horrible stigma attached to it, as if you "hate" God and sleep with the devil or something. If I had a religious status on FB, I would write that. Right now, mine just reads: Everyone should believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink!
